I'd go with B&W. You might try a camera show for those. The Leica dealer
here wanted to sell me a Red and a Yellow B&W filter for $41.00 apiece & I
found them both at a camera show two weeks ago for $56, total, and they were
new.

Hi all,

Thanks for all your replies to my M6 loading question.
I'll do some practicing tonite.

I need to buy some filters for black and white work.
I've previously been using Hoya filters on my 1970s
vintage Nikkor optics.  However, I've noticed that
used Leica filters are available for about double the 
price of a new B+W/Hoya filter.  Should I pay the
extra $$$ for Lecia?

Oh, by the way, I do not put a UV filter on my lenses.
